Then why DIDN'T you use a condom? Its not like you didn't have time... there is ALWAYS time to get one and use it if you aren't on contraception, and aren't actually TRYING to have a baby..

You are aware that's the lazy way out... and it doesn't always work.

You can go to the Doctor and see what they suggest.

AMHD can not prescribe you any form of birth control.

In my eyes it is too late.

It just happened too fast. It was a mistake I know. But what now?

You live with it... you are 18 and an adult... adults are respeonsible for their actions... Welcome to the adult world.

So what do you people do when you wish to have sex, not with the motive of having a baby?

And, I have had sex thrice but haven't bled yet (evidence for loss of virginity). Why is it?

Whoa... bleeding has NOTHING to do with proof you lost virginity... many women break their hymens without any sexual activity , like as children just playing... many more do during puberty. Some break without much or any blood. Most don't bleed a lot.. and a few even need a doctor to cut their hyman because its too thick to break during sex.

Something that is a constant... Once you have sex... you aren't a virgin any more... and won't ever be again either.

YOu go to a doctor.. and get the right contraceptive pills prescribed. Additionally its wise for him to also use a condom because no form of birth control is 100% effective... using more than one form increases the efectiveness.

Even then its still possible. We have moderators here that got pregnant more than once... USING several forms of protection... and one is a Nurse that works with pregnant women... you know SHE was using them correctly.

Too much with the sex thing. I actually need to take lessons.
And what about having sex after a day or two after my period till ovulation (i.e. 14days before my date)?

And do these birth control pills affect the menstrual cycle?

There are NO safe days... and unless you keep a daily Basal Temprature chart for a few years... you won't know exactly when you ovulate.

Some women get pregnant DURING their period...

One thing you will learn... women are very inconsistent when they ovulate... you could possibly put 28 women in a room whose periods are all in sync... and have every one of them ovulate on a different day.


Actually is not THAT inconsistent... but is more like more women ovulate on a certain number of days after their period than others... but with a large enough sample of women... there will be some that ovulate on every day of that month.

You HAVE to assume every time you have sex you might get pregnant...

THat depends on the type taken... the kind most used were you have 28 pills and take one every morning... are started after a regular period... and in fact many times are prescribed to help women with irregular periods... become more regular... but you will have a period every forth week... with them... you may or may not bleed the entire week... (most don't)... but they will be very regular.

I am not as familiar with the other types like shots, implants or IUD's to comment on them... but the problem with some of those is remembering to get another... the daily pills are an easy routine.. as its every day at the same time.

Each has a possible side effect... and your doctor will likely make slight changes from time to time based on how you react as an individual to the particular one you are taking.

So a condom with birth control pill will do wonders?

Its not 100% effective.(nothing is).. but its almost as close as you are going to get... and a very good combination to use... as condoms actually proect you from some STD's as well... as long as you don't use the Lambskin ones wich don't as they are porous to viruses..
